I’ve been bending for years: swaying in the winds that stole my father from me at a young age, that ripped my daughter away from me, that ended our dreams of a biological child, and that are seriously messing with the adoption process.

So what’s the breaking point?

Which heartache will break my spirit and hope and leave me lying broken on the ground like that tree that had also withstood so much?
